JEAN-JACQUES ROUSSEAU

Michel Soetard, Université Catholique de l’Ouest, Angers, Andre-Leroy 3, France

Abstract: To the question so often asked—‘What was really new in Rousseau’s approach to education?’— the replies are legion, and must be critically reviewed. Rousseau, the initiator of a ‘Copernican revolution’, is said to have made the child the focus of the educational process. To be sure, Émile did make a major contribution to this change of focus, but it should be pointed out that, after a long period of indifference, a new interest was beginning to be shown in children anyway; in fact it was even tending to become something of a fashion. Moralists, administrators and doctors were vying with one another in urging mothers to take good care of their offspring, beginning by breast-feeding them. Rousseau helped to develop this ‘feeling for childhood’, around which was to grow the concept of the ‘nuclear family’.

Key words: education, nuclear family

EDOUARD CLAPAREDE

Daniel Hameline, University of Geneva, France.

Abstract: According to the brief entry on Genevan psychologist and educational theorist Édouard Claparède in the Thesaurus of the Encyclopaedia Universalis (1985 edition), his work has been ‘somewhat forgotten’, even if in his own day he did have ‘quite considerable’ personal influence. A courteous tribute, but hardly an enthusiastic one. And yet between 1981 and 1984, Carlo Trombetta and Sante Bucci published seven volumes of Claparède’s previously unpublished works, with annotations and commentaries; a thesis on his work was written in France (Lyons, 1982); and two symposia were held on the relevance of his work for today (Rome, 1983, and Geneva, 1984). So there is perhaps some room for readjustment of this assessment.

Key words: psychologist and educational theory

SIGMUND FREUD

Bernard Jolibert, Universite de la Reunion, Reunion, France

Abstract: To paint a faithful portrait the best course may well be simply to follow Freud’s own autobiographical account, that might be entitled, to borrow Alain’s expression, ‘the history of my ideas’. So many major scientific discoveries; so many essential stages in the course of a life.

The first major period is made up of the years of learning. Freud was born on 6 May 1856 in Freiberg, Moravia (today in the Czech Republic), and he had acquired from his Jewish origins three qualities that greatly helped him in his struggles: veneration for knowledge in general, and above all scientific knowledge; an extremely free and critical mind; and great resistance to hostility.

Key words: knowledge, freud
